There is music aplenty in Kingston this week, highlighted by a performance by a Canadian legend.

Saturday night, there are a few different choices. At Chalmers Church, at the corner of Barrie and Earl streets (and Clergy and Barrie, and Clergy and Earl), musical comedy trio The Arrogant Worms perform their "First Farewell Tour." The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $25 in advance.

At the Musiikki Cafe on Brock Street, the bearded folk(ish) Karpinka Brothers, curiously described as a cross between Buddy Holly and Crowded House, perform tracks from their new album, Talk is Cheap. The show begins at 8 p.m.

Speaking of folk, The Deep Dark Woods -- billed as "the pre-eminent purveyors of swirling folk rock" -- perform songs from their new record, Yarrow, at The Mansion. Cover is $10, and the doors swing open at 9.

On Sunday, there's the family-friendly Peter and the Wolf and other animal-inspired numbers performed by the Kingston Symphony and narrated by its maestro, Evan Mitchell. The day starts an hour earlier with activities in the lobby. The show starts at 2:30 p.m., and tickets are $10 to $20 plus HST and handling fee.

At the same time at The Isabel, Duo Kleinhapl & Woyke perform "Rebels against time: The Tides of Romanticism" at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $39 to $55 for the general public.

On Wednesday, The Peculiar, of which some members hail from this area, releases their debut full-length album, For X, at The Merchant. The band starts at 9:30 p.m. and will be followed by Kingston's Konig at 11:30 p.m. Donations for the United Way will be collected at the door.

The inimitable Gordon Lightfoot returns to Kingston for an intimate show at the Grand Theatre on Thursday. There were, at press time, a few seats left for the 8 p.m. show.

The week concludes with a performance of Mozart's Requiem by the Kingston Choral Society and Orchestra Kingston on Friday. The concert takes place inside Sydenham Street United Church starting at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $15 (students and children under 16) and $25 (everybody else).
